The classic 1969 recording, originally released on the Poppy label, was Texas country blues & folk singer Townes Van Zandt's third full-length release...influenced by Hank Williams, Bob Dylan and Lightnin' Hopkins, Van Zandt's unique style -- at times brooding and introspective, at times relentlessly forceful and dynamic -- spoke to the dark corners of the human soul, and has been claimed as an influence by everyone from Sonic Youth to Willie Nelson...

Das 6-Tage-Spiel Des Orgien Mysterien Theaters: 5-Tag
long deleted, last copy of this outstanding box: Hermann Nitsch is perhaps the best known of the notorious Vienna Actionists. His carefully choreographed performance art frequently involves cacophonous noise, buckets of blood and animal dismemberment, turning gory excess into ritualistic spectacle. Nitsch's undoubted Gesamtkunstwerk is his Des Orgien Mysterien Theaters, a six-day 'play' that was first performed in its entirety in 1998 at the artist's Prinzendorf Castle, in his native Austria.The…

Are You Rallizesed?
New limited-edition double CD set from long-time archival Rallizes label Ignuitas. This one features a complete Rallizes show from Shizuoka Stupa in 1974 with Mizutani feeding his guitar to the fire with outrageous Star Spangled Banner-style leads while the rest of the group lay-down some of the most brain-freezing nod-out grooves of their entire career. There’s a great slack, elegaically-stoned feel to the playing and by the end of the show the whole group are obliviously destroyed. Recommended…

Ray Warleigh\'s First Album
Firmly-established as one of Britain's leading saxophonists and flautists, Ray Warleigh is perhaps best-known for his contributions to albums by Nick Drake, Elton John, Paul McCartney, U2 and many others. This 1969 bachelor pad classic was produced by Scott Walker (for whom he acted as musical director), and features a plethora of renowned musicians, including Gordon Beck, Harry South, Terry Cox and James Galway. Never previously available on CD, it comes complete with rare photographs and compr…
The Legendary Me
Long prayed-for reissue of this classic 1970 UK folk stunner that's a missing link both in the Wizz Jones oeuvre and in the guitar-freedom music of the prime era. The Legendary Me was Wizz Jones' second studio album, originally released by the obscure but vital Village Thing label (following his self-titled debut on United Artists). Cosmically figuring somewhere between the non-trad radical expressions of the Mike Cooper/Roy Harper axis and Clive Palmer's post-ISB journey, Jones' terrestrial pos…
Faust IV
Faust IV’ is widely acknowledged as being the finest album in the bands expansive catalogue, so it seems highly relevant that EMI have chosen this gem to re-issue. The full album is included here in it’s original form and is generously packaged up with 2 previously unreleased tracks and 3 tracks from a 1973 Peel session. Kicking off with the title that had journalists weeping – the tongue-in-cheek ‘Krautrock’ we’re firmly in the land of Faust. Billowing noise and seas of bleeps and burps envelop…
Sound Characters 2 (Making Sonic Spaces)
One of contemporary music's greatest and most elusive mavericks returns to Tzadik with yet another CD of ear-bending electronic sounds. A student of Stockhausen and close collaborator of John Cage and David Behrman, Maryanne Amacher has been creating acoustic art, electronic soundscapes and site-specific installation work since 1967. A new CD of Amacher compositions is a true cause for celebration and Teo! is one of her greatest works. The winner of Prix Ars Electronica in the Digital Musics cat…
Letters From The Serth
This re-release of 1998's Letters From The Serth is a sequential follow-up to the monolithic double CD Letters From The Earth, as it was recorded exactly one year to the day later (Orthodox Easter, 1997), at the same location - on the roof of their building in Chinatown in the afternoon. It's only a single CD this time because as you'll hear at the end, it's starts raining. It features the regular No Neck Blues Band line-up, plus their newest member, the enigmatic Japanese dancer/icon, Michiko. …
Cacophony: 1979-1981
Double CD archival overview of this obscure Australian band from the late 70s. They released 2 7" in 1979, including the legendary debut Instant Classic, which was a strange combo of primitive punk and dub. Those singles, plus the later LP from 1981 Transformational Salts make up the first disc. A small piece of near forgotten history, comprehensively recalled for consumption. The two discs contain both the scarce 7"s, the album, and two live sets. All digitally mastered by The Slugfuckers. It's…
